Description
The Rycote CA-08 is a cardioid pencil condenser microphone designed for a range of applications in studio and field recording.
The CA-08 microphones provide slight directionality with a virtually flat frequency response from 70Hz-20KHz, gradually dropping off below 60Hz. The mics are built on Rycote’s low self-noise preamp design and capsules which offer a consistent sonic signature that mixes well when cut together with other Rycote microphones in the
range. The CA-08 mics can be used individually or in matched stereo pairs.
